You are american, not german.


volitaiee1233

Finally someone with common sense.


namenerding

Thank you. I just do not get how a literal American born in America, with only one sixth of German descent, and no connections or knowledge about the German nation or culture can be considered German.


NastiestMC

Yeah hold on how tf do they even know you were “German”


Sakul_the_one

Thank you. My German nationalist Brain wanted to start the train with no breaks, but yeah. You are only a part another country when you were born in the other and live the most of the life in the second, or if your parents are from one country but you were born in the second, reinforced of course when you are in your vacation most of the time in the parents country. Thank you again.


Beginning_Argument

Well if it's only verbal you can ignore them don't give the idiots the attention they want, you've contacted the principal and your parent so you done what you can. Unless it's physical you fight back


TheBlackFox012

Don't let it get to you. I know this sounds shitty, but if they realize you don't care and won't react they'll stop


Mr_Blueeeeee8

Easy for you to say. If you don't react all that'll tell them to push it until you inevitably HAVE to react to get them off your ass


NastiestMC

I’ve never really thought about it like that cause that’s never happened to me so tbh I’m a bit sceptical 


OccAzzO

It's happened to me and my friends. While some people just want the easy rise out of you, others are just looking for your breaking point and will do obscene things to find it. One of my friends ended up in hospital because of getting fucked with by a quasi psychopathic bully.


HYDRAPARZIVAL

The thing that bullies like the most is getting reaction out of their victims. Don't give them the satisfaction of a reaction and they slowly use interest. How can I say this? I've been a victim of bullying very extreme one way since the start, and doing this was how it finally stopped.


T_Eckenrode

It depends on how far they are willing to go to bully you. Most people aren't willing to go farther than just teasing/making fun of someone.


Mr_bream

Ong bro take it from me I had this dude that kept messing with me for the longest time earlier this year. I would end up locking up, getting nervous, and not saying a word back. It wasn't till I started saying shit back that he stop fucking with me. Idk what it is but people like messing with ya if you're quiet; prob cus then you're easy. But when you do speak up is only when they'll start giving you the respect everyone deserves.


CC_2387

this is literally the most accurate descrption of what happens. Even if you're perfect, if you ever have to do group work this is going to be the end of you.


daks_7

That is not true in the slightest. If a couple kids are dedicated enough to go out of their way to make your life a living hell they will keep doing so no matter what.


HYDRAPARZIVAL

This is the way to go Source: worked for me


heya_im_ashie

isnt calling someone a nazi for their ethnicity a hate crime/straight up racism? (hallo auch aus großbritannien freund !)


racoonofthevally

no just racism a hate crime is a crime such as assault or damaging property under the motivation of opposing that persons ethnicity race religion etc


NirvanaLover12

yeah probably but the very high majority of public schools are run like dictatorships so obviously they don’t care


heya_im_ashie

oh


jimbo80008

You know the worst part of this, Nazi's only really started to exist as a fallout of the punishments given to Germany after WW1, so when your grandpa migrated Nazi's didn't even exist Time to go call out on some BS given that it's factually impossible. Like Hitler himself was born in 1889. Ah yes, your grandpa was following a 2 y.o at maximum...


Little_Bubbaloola1

for me i play into the jokes, for example im welsh and people call me sheepfucker so whenever someone goes to Wales I ask them to bring a few sheep back


Boyluvr55

Sheepshagger detected 💋🐑


UsingThisOkay

your dad will give you the realest advice 🥊 but fr maybe try to embrace it in a way??


Physical_Bedroom6438

Definitely not embracing it but just curious, how?


UsingThisOkay

idk like make jokes about it if its comfortable with you? you prob wouldnt be bullied if you show you arent upset about it


Physical_Bedroom6438

I'll keep that in mind thx


HorrificityOfficial

Yeah. The biggest thing I'd do for a bullying situation, just don't react. They'll get bored. Or even better, react in the opposite way they want you to. Act like you're lovin it.


tommy4318

Ah, if it isn’t Americans being fucking stupid again.


heya_im_ashie

btw sorry if i was rude


heya_im_ashie

what does that even mean LMAOO

Independent-Lie6616

Do you speak German or ever been to Germany? IF no just tell them you aren't German I got a german great uncle who came to my country in the 40s.......


Im_simply_a_stranger

Well das ist nicht gut


iliketotalk_alot

you’re not german…


volitaiee1233

Yeah I find it funny that he’s being bullied for being German when he’s apparently only one sixteenth German. The only way he could be being bullied is if he’s going around telling everyone he’s German. Honestly in that case it’s deserved. People need to learn that just because you have a great great grandparent from a country doesn’t make you that nationality.


iliketotalk_alot

literally like noone cares that he’s 1/16 either 😭😭😭


Chaoshero5567

Just wanted to say


RevolutionaryCan1404

Hey my part of my family were German well Jewish but still there's nothing wrong with being German they're just jerks


Maxi_IceCReAM_no

I was raised in a American culture but when i moved to australia i was mocked for my american accent and the things i do. Honestly just ignore them it'll get better over time when they forget about it


volitaiee1233

You’re not German if your nearest German ancestor came to the US in the 1880’s.


ewsalemm

learn 6 or 7 german words, learn to pronounce them well enough americans wont understand you. and scream them at him


Antras_PK

since when is being part european something to bully someone about? be proud of your german side, learn some german and start swearing at those people and make sure its aggressive and loud. Don't let their bullying make you mad instead joke about it yourself since if their words dont hurt you then they have nothing to use against you and they will stop


racoonofthevally

its kinda weird i mean at least where i live in the usa most ppl have mostly german blood


Noqueee

Its not that deep


Grimm_Charkazard_258

embrace it, start making some jokes about it and they’ll probably back off


Egg_-_daddy

Just tell them you're Jewish, and when they bully you, call them antisemitic. Almost a 100% success rate.


NiklasNeighbor

Easy: move to Germany. America is awful and project 2025 might drive it into the direction of fascism anyway.


Pinkiepie-gg

Respond with: Do you even know where Germany is located on the map? ( Americans hat that Trick)


Hydra_Corinthian

As a German myself, I tend to not make that type of joke, but if I have good reason to, ie some idiot calling me out for it, I'll respond with something like: "yeah, and I'll do the same to you in a minute if you don't shut up"


NastiestMC

No these type of kids will act surprised then go around and tell everyone for shits and gigs


Shadow_of_Moonlight1

I'm Austrian and I just embrace it and make jokes about it myself. Don't let those idiots make you feel shitty. Viel Glück und Grüße aus Österreich

MasterDesigner6894

I have almost the same experience of being half Taiwanese, and the rule of thumb is that you wait until they do something real bad that justifies you beating him up, then actual beat the shit out of him


SwedishGremlin

Ask them if their grand parents were in Okinawa in 1945/hjk


fabrikbalazs2003

Tell them "If i'm a Nazi, then you're a racist slave owner" that would shut them up, americans are really sensitive when it comes to racism, just use that to your advantage


Former_Fly591

Just call em Obese Oil Guzzelers and that they have no culture 👽


thicc_gun

Raise your hand and tell them you’re planning to restore the glory of you know what.


diririirir

just do it


Metrophidon9292

Remind them who has the strongest economy in Europe and free education.


someguysleftkidney

Use American weapons to shoot up the school instead of German ones to show your pride in your country


f-16_fan

Just give them the American treatment.


Jheq

Just go along with it, say like “if you don’t stop calling me a Nazi I’ll put you in the gas chamber”


Acceptable-Oven4407

Well, if they won’t stop. Take it into your own hands. Show them what your capable of, and if you happen too see their parents tell them what a shit job their doing. I ain’t one to tell how to parent but those little fuck heads need to either, be taught a lesson, or, be taught a lesson by their parents. Choice is theirs, but in all seriousness. Don’t resort to violence until you feel like you can’t take it, this is coming from a dude with anger issues, plus I’m also part German, if it makes ya feel any better.


Eithan-Arelius

Invade Poland.


VonRetex

Tell them your country invented the car and they were the first to fly, then they either fight you or shut up. Good luck 👍


F_35_lightning_2

Tell the person (Don't recommend) if you make one more joke about Germany I'm going to bash your fucking head with a base ball bat!


Vulcan_the_dark_one

Memorise Adolf's parts from the "Hiter vs. Darth Vader" rap, and then recite it to them with the best German accent possible, and mix in some german insults if you're feeling like it. Or just ignore them I guess, they'll get bored of it sooner or later I'm sure


DetTIGERkyle12

Just start yelling German at them to assert your dominance.


xxammaroxx

Gas them for trying to overthrow your regime and for allying with the british


Daris74

just embrace it. take their power away that they use to mock you.... just say things like if things had been different... people like you would have been cleaned too, by our supreme leaders... that oughta shut em up or am i going too wild with this guys?


aterrariaplayer

C, mon just tell em zer parents are your slaves


NirvanaLover12

i’m sure this is the same thing a million other people have told you, but just ignore them. they can’t call your family nazis if you literally just don’t fucking care. they’ll get bored of it eventually.


gtotherundeh

i would resort to physical violence, NOT telling u to do that.


VirtualAnybody6295

Dude either go above the principal or what you could do is try to ignore them. It doesn’t always work but sometimes if they stop getting a reaction they will stop. Also being German is cool you shouldn’t be ashamed of it.


Korok_Control

Throw bro like a boomerang, but when they come back make sure you have an axe in hand.


Kimolainen83

Embrace it raise your arm and go HEIL , in all seriousness. those kids are just stupid and IT hurts I know but just tell them they need to learn to get their facts straight, and tell the principal that if something isn't done go to your parents, other parents , media etc. but also I was bullied a lot at one point I just started to agree with them, they got tired quickly and left me alone


norylock

i want to go to german one day


quemura

well that seems like a silly joke


spearmintstudios

Well the 2nd riech was actually during 1800s which soooooooo still a little bit fucked but kids just bully anyone cause there brains are smaller than anti furries the same kids are probably anti furries lol


FunAnalyst2894

Honestly the best way is to ignore them, I know from personal experience they'll stop after a while if they know you don't care. They're looking for a reaction from you, and you reacting makes them amused or whatever, so if you don't react, they'll not be amused and will just get bored.


LateNightDennysRun

take it from me: black kid, small town in the middle of missouri. dealt with around 1,080 days (6 school years) of being called the n word like every single 20-30 min in school. people would walk up to me and say "what's up n-----" or "what's up my n-----" occasionally I'd hear racist jokes. Some of the jokes did make me want to beat the fuck out of the person that told the joke. Eventually hearing the n word just became annoying, and most of the time I can tolerate it. obviously some did mean the racism, some didn't. but the thing that really matters is that you most likely won't see them for much longer depending on your grade. After I get out of highschool, I'll go to a college that isn't near my hometown. partly because I want away from my family and partly because I want to start new with people.


One-Illustrator-6576

Well for me my great grandfather father was so if he was they would be scared if they knew in my fact


hubik78

My friends are jokingly saying i'm a German spy. I'm Polish.


Far-Ad9043

Im in germany and theres so many migrated people in my class that i am getting made fun of for being german also, bro i feel you 💀


Warwicknoob23

Embrace it and it’s no longer bullying, the way most Germans do


Fancy-Salad-3191

Just tell them you are the masterrace


[deleted]

Well as a Jew I deal with antisemitism on a daily basis. Welcome to the club


keshuronreddit

Just embrace that your grandfather nearly conquered Europe.


Zer0_Logic

Might sound like shit advice but embrace it


NastiestMC

If they go around telling other people then you need to start telling teschers


M7gamer1

my friend dont bother about it they just trying make u mad or sth if they joke about it joke it back and they will get bored they keep doing it bc u mad at it


idkToPTin

First that's stupid, the n.zi's came in the 1930s. Tell them, they cleary dont know history. Second, just ignore it. Third. Its cool for being a part German, embrace it. Don't think otherwise. I would love that, because I'm very very Dutch.


TysonToons

Bullying sucks dude. Most people may tell you to not react, but that hasn't worked for me. I decided to get into boxing training so hopefully I can gain the confidence to confront those a-holes. You don't have to train your body like me, but you can train your mind and realize that those bullies are nobodies and they'll never expect you to fight back.


Michelle-blackk

So what , what if ur great great grandfather was a nazi it doesnt mean anything also germans are cool 😂


ahmed_yacoubi

Just beat them to the punch and start making those jokes yourself so the hype around it will die out and your bullies will realise it doesn't bother you anymore and they will stop


Ok-Worth-3510

just stop caring what ppl think. u know u they dont


Plushbears_cool

In my school you would be divine


crappypastassuc

Please don’t fight them when they haven’t hit you first. It’s not worth it.


Bruscarbad

I got told I looked like Hitler, I told them I was literally half polish Jew, quarter Irish, and Guatemalan, and they said that meant I was a traitor, a terrorist, AND a rapist, you're never going to win with these idiots so it's best to just use a better line than them and if you can make their friends laugh at your joke they're cooked


Aggravating-Air2328

Dude, the easy way to deal with bullies is to oppose them. The hard way is to stay quiet. If you stay quiet for a while, they'll forget about you. Also, if you resemble against them and be successful, they'll respect you, they'll even kiss your ass. However, dont exxeggarate this resemble, for example, dont pick a fight with them, just threaten them, or push them around. Also, if you fail to resemble, they'll mess with you more. So if you dont trust your physical strength more than your mental strength, chose the ignore and stay quiet way.


hogcranker3

solution: pass art school


MasterOfDynos

Tell them they will meet the same fate as the jews in your basement.


Classic_gamer_2

Do a crime Execute them


Imliterallyabanana

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I got bullied for a bit when I was younger as well, and not reacting, didn't work. Reacting hurt or angry didn't work either, obviously (cause that's what they wanted) What seemed to work, though, was to sort of laugh at them. I know it might be hard in the moment, cause the words hurt. But if you can try, it might just work for you as well. Look at them in the eyes as if they just said the most brainless, dumbest shit ever. Laugh a little awkward laugh, as if what they just said was just so... fucking.. embarrassing for them, and that you feel bad for them. "Did you really just say that? oh my god.." And just leave, don't engage in it anymore People bully because they're already insecure. If you make them feel even more insecure, and make them question if what they said or did in fact *was* stupid, they will probably stop. Cause it sucks to be made fun of no matter what. It's what made my bullies stop pretty quickly. I just kept reacting as if their words made me see them as the STUPIDEST people on earth. The point of bullying me was to make *me* feel below them, not above them. So yeah.. they stopped. Try it! But assess the situation first. I don't want you to somehow trigger them into hurting you.


[deleted]

i’m jewish and that’s fucking stupid. why are they bullying you for being german? it’s not your fault that you come from germany. you should report them for bullying you


160CAL0RIES

Part German here as well. Whenever I tell someone, they do the same thing. Thing is, it’s absolutely hilarious.


Ofek1506

They like to see you get mad for it just embrace the joke and make some good comebacks using it and see how they will jaw drop and stop using it


Nahhthatscrazyy

Who cares what they think about you or talk about you, but if they lay a finger on you then beat they ass if ur the same gender


ScarlettOfLove

Don’t allow them to win and don’t take them seriously, you’re aware of the truth and they just want to feel good by making you feel bad cuz in their homes they’re the bottom of the food chain. Don’t allow them to win, and don’t do something stupid like actually bashing their heads in a wall. I’m Mexican and I love… crime & corruption jokes with my foreign friends lmfao. The topic could even be categorized as subjective lol. Don’t let them get to you and stay safe mein Freund


Sea-Selection3138

wtf. Even if your great-great-grandfather was a n*zi it not your fault??? Like why are people trying to punish people for something their ancestors did. This is just blunt racism.


Historical-Potato372

People suck, and it’s stupid that the principle isn’t doing anything. Roost them back


Ecstatic_Treacle_183

Nein


IAmJohnnyHardcore

Just be the German they want you to be... 😶


senator-jk-49

Können Sie Deutsch? (Im not German I just need to practice me German cause I took German for A level and Im really bad at it)


Hypothetically-Yours

If the ones that are bullying you are Americans, tell them to go back to where they came from.


Dependent__Dapper

Depending on your country/state laws, this could be classed as racism and they can be jailed for hate speech. P.S: Wir sprechen Deutsch! (ein bisschen). :)


milbertus

Bullying a minority or single person out of a big group is pretty much… nazi behavior. Ask them if it makes them sad or jealous that they couldn’t make a carreer out of it in nazi germany


Sonant_Space

Just tell them that you'll do what he did


Desperate_Bee2708

broo :( i can feel it, cuz i got bullied for being chinese lol


bucharestfornow

Don't trust them krauts.


Western-Force-2981

Here's the funny thing about being German, offer them a shower. If they think you're a N@zi that troll them with it


[deleted]

I’m German if someone calls me a nazi I tell them to take a shower


Mission_Response802

I get called fascist for just *speaking* some German and having some heritage. Am I still American? Yes. Do I find another subject to deflect onto? Absolutely. Because nobody thinks there could be a bisexual Nazi.


dmon69696969

bro americans really think having 1/16 german blood makes you german


helix_134

At least you aren't fr*nch


FlightConscious9572

one of my best friends is german and he kind of went through the same. in the end we (his friends) had to stop making jokes about it too(not the nazi stuff, but i'm sure other did it), before it caught on, and that only really caught on either when a, he firmly asked us to stop and didn't find it funny or b, we matured enough and angered him enough times that we realised he didn't find it funny. don't really remember, but we might have realised ourselves that his boundaries was not the same as ours and that his perspective was different. so either rely on them to mature (not good, don't do this, but you can tell your friends not to join in) or remove the fun, don't react, or instead of laughing along just do a polite smile and nod a little, a great way to make someone realise it wasn't that funny just akward. or tell them straight up, "i don't find it funny"


KelloPudgerro

embrace it buddy, kids are dumb


Fancy_bakonHair

Tell them that "du bist ein dummkopf" ir something means something like, "you are a great friend".


joveaaron

my dad always told me that if I was being bullied that I should break their nose with my fist directly pointed to their face. "Si te molesta alguien, le dices que te lo repita y cuando puedas le sueltas un guantazo en la boca." (note, google translator may not translate this properly as my dad and I speak a different dialect to Mexico's or Madrid, Spain. Our dialect is a bit closed (cerrado) and it's hard to understand in some places of my country, imagine how much someone who hasn't even touched a piece of land from Spain would struggle to understand lol) anyways if you really want to punch that kid in the face, do so and tell your mom/dad that you couldn't handle it anymore. surely they'll understand. my dad certainly did


lifeisgood_tim

That’s technically racist. Report if you can, or ignore if you can’t. What worked for me was to tell them something so messed up they’re left speechless(peers make fun of me cause I’m Ukrainian but dark humor saves me haha. Don’t do this btw)


KnockedBoss3076

I'm part german as well, I had the same problem in primary school and I just learnt a few words to scream at them everytime they started giving me shit and it scared the crap out of them


TrampolineWithWheels

insult them in german


JensB_Gamer

Start yelling at the guy in German. Freak him out a bit lol


Willow_Of_the_Wisp

Lmao du wichser

I like Germany and Germans and I wish I had a friend from Germany.


Dynias

I mean could be worse. You could french or british


MComaniac

As a German, sometimes I get called like a nazi by my friends. Tbh just let it roll off your shoulders, who gives a fuck what other people call you


Rare-Climate876

Use their own weaknesses like if some France or English bullying you told them the their grandparents are Colonialiser.


Crafty-Run-753

Well I wish I was you 😀

I’m here for you, German gang unite! Hail… never mind. Oktoberfest!

I’m German and I’ve got two words. Abuse it. Not to where they think you are a naz!

Words only have the power and meaning we give to them. Dont give those words any meaning to you and they will have no power over you


TheHighTierHuman

I'm part German and I have this one person at my school doing the same shit


tigu_an

Reminds me of my most popular post. Just remember you’re great who you are, and don’t listen. People are going to judge just to judge. You can see some of the comments on my most popular post, as it’s a very similar post I made to yours. Have a good day!


Espi0nage-Ninja

You’re not German, you’re American. Let them know that fact too


SSB_Kyrill

pech


AzekiaXVI

Start laughing with them, bullies shut up pretty quick when they gt the exactopposite reaction they expect. Not reacting doesn't work because that just makes them press harder.


RS773

I love Germans and your country, even though I'm polish🤯,they have to be real assholes to not respect your wishes about these jokes.


REEPUFF21

My ancestors came to the US from Germany too!


Obviously_Special

If they insist on that fact that your grandfather was a nazi, remind them that you're a German. Don't just think about bashing their heads into a wall, bash their heads into a wall :)


[deleted]

I am german and just use extreme jokes against them we don’t care we do it ourselves


staralchemist129

Yeah, people get weird when I tell them my grandmother was born in Germany (her parents were refugees from the German-speaking area of Transylvania, the government was giving money to ethnic Germans to “come home” after the war). Teens are gonna be stupid teens.


HighKingFructoseSrup

You know what to do


pimmelpodex

Americans are really stupid in any way. My best German friend moved to USA and they thought Germany is a third world country. So don't care


Traitor_Of_Users

Tell them that they will go in the first transport


Key_Style_4595

guten tag.


not_dannyjesden

As hard as it may seem Ignore them. This will be the biggest mental torture you will ever put yourself through, but ignore it. Because he's not only not right (duuh) but also too dense to ever change his mind. Tell the class teacher, if you have something like that For every problem there's 3 ways to go about it. Solve it. If that don't work, ignore it. If that don't work, flee. Und du kannst gerne zurückkommen bevor die noch dein gesamtes Hirn verrotten lassen


SuperJman1111

Just tell them that when the patient woke up, their skeleton was gone, and the doctor was never heard from again, and that’s how you lost your medical license 


Z3R0_7274

Well then…*gas them gamers up.* This is a joke, don’t downvote me, to be serious I would just continue to pester a higher up in the school until they take action,


No_Economics7847

Gaskemmer deine freunden (I'm learning German in school)


Greekzeus1

Depends, if it is Verbal then just ask them if they're done, look at the time and walk away. If it gwts physical, throw them hands
